Nineteen Yelp reviewers ratings <strong>averaged 2.21 out of five stars</strong>.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> "Went for detox in may 2016, the staff was very helpful, courteous, and made sure I had everything I needed," wrote Matt. On the other hand, Ann said, "They have tunnel vision as to help they can provide, sound burned-out and cynical. I left feeling I had wasted two days and just didn't fit into their program and it was all about program census, rather than helping." </p> <p>In a more representational review, Michelle wrote: "community bridges, like all medical treatment centers has both competent and incompetent <br /> staff... I believe that the staff for the most part mirror the patients when it comes to the way they treat them."</p> <p>Additionally, there are two ratings on CiteHealth for this facility to date, <strong>both for one out of five stars</strong>.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> The commenters had nothing positive to say and noted that they did not receive adequate help.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>While Rehabs.com has yet to receive employee feedback to date, secondary sources revealed <strong>generally positive employee feedback</strong>.
